Not sure if you guys got my email. Here's some feedback discussion points for the podcast.

I have a few theories that I've been conjuring up naturally and would like to see what you both think. Love your podcast, I checked out all the Mr. Robot podcasts and yours in the best. I actually work in IT and Cyber Security and was pleasantly surprised your podcast dives deep into the hacks, even without advertising that it's tech analysis. Kudos! Maybe you guys can talk about these points during the feedback section at the end of the podcast. The big twists might be psychological fiction, rather than science fiction. This plays both into White Rose's machine and the "3rd personality" reveal. I have two discussion points. Both seem baked in since the beginning and would be an amazing series re-watch.

We have to keep in mind that White Rose claims "she can hack time", thus having more personalities in one mind, so you can do 2-3 times as much with one physical body in a finite amount of time. Think of all the episodes we see where Elliot and Mr. R. are doing things at the same time (hacking time), collecting information twice as fast, being in two places at once. It's possible Elliot was the guinea pig of this experiment and Mr. Robot was induced into him as a second personality. We can see this double personality also in Zhang/White Rose, she might have a 3rd personality she is wanting to come out too, her dead lover from the 80s. I feel like this is her goal to have him in the form of a personality inside her. Also, it's her goal to bring back everyone's dead loved ones. This would change humanity forever. This makes sense how Angela was able to see her dead mom in real time, it was all in her head because of the machine. Maybe it works as some sort of frequency field, that can be shut off and on, and for specific people.

The episode in which the Night King was killed, leaving us 3 episodes to the finale without the great enemy everyone thought will be only defeated at the end of the show?

Well, also here we are left with exactly 3 episodes till Mr Robot's finale, and as was in GOT so is here, fans still think the villain will be back and surprise us all.

Well, she ain't gonna IMO, I believe she's taken off the board, and we need to understand, same as in GOT, that this show is not about the ominous villain, or about fighting the great evil that wants to destroy humanity. The show is not about that. That was the red herring all along.

The show is about the complexity of human beings, about the dark side and the good side in one, and the battle among those sides for ones soul.

I believe that in the next 3 episodes, we are not going to talk about Whiterose, we are going to talk about the things Sam Esmail always hid from us in plain sight, but we were too blinded by the fascination of world domination and a time machine; a machine that was never really existed outside the sick mind of one, soon to be forgotten, Whiterose, and also in some misunderstanding fans minds that thought we are dealing with a sci fi show. What a joke.

In the next 3 episodes we are going to be dealing with the important things, things such as Elliot's third (fourth? Fifth?) personality, about his struggle to somehow exit the Alderson Loop he's stuck in now that he come to terms with himself and his childhood sexual abuse, about what the hell Elliot did last summer that is so devastating, and about Elliot fighting his demons within.

But whatever those things will be, one thing will be clear - that Whiterose is dead, thematically dead, finished, Kaputt, that the last scene of her was putting makeup in front of the mirror while the FBI (I am the FBI!) coming for her, and we the fans need to come to terms with that, and with what this show was all about.

It’s not the shameful feeling of “I’m such a great detective so I should have solved the mystery a long time ago."
Not that shame.
It's the shameful part of me that I thought had such great empathy to human suffering, the part that should have notice the screaming signs of a molested child.

Elliot, you called me a friend, for times you even thought me as one until you didn't, and you were right, what kind of a friend would not have realized what you had to go through to become the dissociative disorder person you are?
I had to know that 90% of those that have this mental illness suffered of abuse in their childhood.
But I thought it was your mother, I thought as you told yourself, as you told me, that your father was your only friend.
I had to realize that your amnesia was part of your post traumatic stress due to being sexually abuse.

The signs were all there, I should have known better, I should have felt it in my guts that your mother abuse was not the whole case, that your reaction towards child sexual abusers is that of someone who suffered that kind of abuse himself.
That you telling your sister to hide in the closet when your father came home should have made my alarms go off, but unfortunately they didn't.
That your mom telling you you should be happy your father is dead, is not an indication to how fucked up she's been, but how fucked up your father has been.
That an adult that suggests a child to watch an R-Rated movie can not really have good motives, that grooming was really what was going on there.

Was me ignoring those (and great more) signs was because I was not as sensitive as I had me believe?
or was is it because I was too afraid to admit to myself that this is actually what is been going on all along?
That it was easier for me to turn my head the other way because I didn't want to deal with sex abuse, with child molesting, with the implications of what this does to the soft soul of a child.

That I'm like a neighbor that hears screaming and shouting, and suspects that the The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is being abused but does nothing because he saw her a few times put a smile on her face, so everything must be A OK.

Yeah right.

That I'm the awful person that left you, my friend, all alone, to dwell in your internal suffering, without telling you the core reason for that.
that instead I was waiting for some little bitch turning bully to get it out from you with a swing of his aluminum bat.

I wasn’t abused as a child, I must say. I was bullied at times, maybe had to deal with a rough neighborhood, but that's it, and I thank my good fortune for that.

But over the years I personally got to know people, close ones even, that were sexually abused in their childhood, that their soul was forever damaged by what happened there behind those closed doors, and I helped them as much as I could to cop with that.

I thought it made me highly sensitive to someone who as a child was sexually abused, but maybe I was wrong.

Maybe in the end I'm still a coward that don't want to hear about that dark part of humanity, that knows that once it is told to you by someone you know, there is no going back, and you have to deal with that, you have to help him deal with what was done to him, and you have to deal with what this revelation also does to you.

anyway, got me thinking. this whole time table is absurd. starting to feel like the suspension of disbelief i had for 24. key difference: w/ 24 it was a cost of entry.

perhaps i’m missing something in the overall timetable, but the amount of time fast-forwarded in the season premiere was arbitrary, right? so why not give elliot a reasonable amount of time and not make the clock that much of a factor.

like, not one person has had a remotely normal reaction to how fatal any one of these deviations from the plan would be to the timeline of any actual plan, no matter how well-conceived.

Zhang losing his shit over Philip was a little confusing. Other than his life, does Philip have anything to lose? Is that why Zhang can’t bend Philip into submission?

Watched mr robot filming yesterday!http://forums.baldmove.com/discussion/5853/watched-mr-robot-filming-yesterday
Fri, 08 Mar 2019 11:23:08 +0000Mr. Robotsterling775853@/discussionsHi everyone! I made the trek to NYC to try to see Mr Robot filming this weekend. I literally flew from across the state, got off the plane and went right to the location. They were in the middle of filming a scene in the street and we were able to walk right up and watch them. We saw Sam and Carly working through a scene with another character rehearsing, then they set up the real shot in full costume after awhile, and shot it several times over and over. All the while we were sitting on a stoop watching silently. They then moved to scenes where they filmed the exterior of Elliot’s apartment and we saw Martin Wallstrom filming several scenes. He smiled at us and nodded as he walked by. He was very serious!

After awhile (by awhile I mean 8 hours) we finally saw Rami, he literally appeared out of nowhere on the set. It was one o’clock in the morning at this time. We saw him walk by us on the street and go into a tent with Sam. We could hear them discussing scenes and heard them playing a game with the crew. Then Rami came out of the tent and got into a van, and looked over at us through the window. The van took him to base camp wherever that was! Later Martin got in the same van without rami in it because he had finished for the night.

It was a very cool experience to see a show filming right in front of my eyes and see the actors up close! I won’t reveal any of the scenes I saw filming but I thought I’d share this experience.
